Background: Kidney depth significantly affects the accuracy of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurement, and hydronephrosis-induced morphological changes further challenge its estimation through traditional formulas. This study evaluated the rotation method's efficacy in correcting kidney depth and depth difference during Tc-99m diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) renal dynamic imaging for GFR assessment.
Methods: This study analyzed 66 individuals treated at First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University with unilateral hydronephrosis between January 2022 and June 2023.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) effectively treats motor symptoms of advanced Parkinson's disease (PD), with the globus pallidus interna (GPi) commonly targeted. However, its therapeutic mechanisms remain unclear. We employed optogenetic stimulation in the entopeduncular nucleus (EP), the rat homologue of GPi, in a unilateral 6-OHDA lesioned female Sprague Dawley rat model of PD.

Due to its rarity and complexity, standardized glaucoma surgical management is limited. To our knowledge, the application of glaucoma drainage devices in CEU is rarely documented.

Objective: Determining the optimal osteotomy length for patients with unilateral Crowe-IV developmental dysplasia of the hip undergoing subtrochanteric osteotomy remains challenging due to the significant variability in pelvic and spinal alignment. Incorrect osteotomy length, compounded by pelvic or spinal tilt, can adversely affect postoperative gait and long-term outcomes. Therefore, this study could introduce a method to calculate the osteotomy length for patients with unilateral Crowe-IV developmental dysplasia of the hip, correcting spinal and pelvic tilt, and improving patient gait.

Though ECT induces a generalized seizure, it is unclear why seizures are therapeutic. This study analyzed relationships between pre-treatment brain morphology, stimulation dose, and seizure duration to better understand ECT-induced seizures.
